Yes, it’s a big relief to all lovers of the rights of women, and you’re very correct that a lot needs to be done on the issue of child bride because the National Assembly did drop the ball the last time. Even Ondo’s rep who represents an area of the country where such is unheard of, AKINYELURE, danced to the tune of the North before publicly WEEPING that he MISREAD the provision of the law.

Thanks for weighing in on a report that must be a relief to everybody who is interested in women’s rights, and especially on the subject of the hill bride.

The Nigerian legislators dropped the ball on the matter when it came up during the last administration, and the voting of some from the supposed more emancipated South was very troubling. I recall the Ondo legislator, AKINYELURE who voted FOR child bride provision although he was to later WEEP publicly claiming he misunderstood what was called for! We all know his “mistake” was in being caught in the messy situation because a sea of women carrying damning posters met him at Akure.
